Description

1954 Topps Ernie Banks #94 PSA NM-MT 8. One of the most
popular debut-year card honors goes to the man who epitomizes the
spirit of the Chicago Cubs. "Mr. Cub" was almost single-handedly
the inspiration for the enthusiasm for the franchise for a
generation of devoted fans. His career began in the Negro Leagues
but the breaking down of the color barrier gave baseball a future
Hall of Famer who was honored twice with the National League MVP
award (1957, 1958) and membership in the esteemed 500 Home Run
Club.

With just a glance at this superb card, the observer can almost
feel Banks' "Let's Play Two!" enthusiasm. Graded PSA NM-MT
8. As expected, almost every facet of its presentation
expresses quality. Notably absent are the '54 Topps issue's vexing
"print specks" one commonly experiences on cards with white or
yellow backgrounds. Hall of Fame rookie cards are right now the
hottest commodity in the hobby as so few submissions have survived
in such applaudable quality.
